    Hi:
     
    I am trying to setup booting/installing from NFS on RedHat 8.0. I have
    machines that that do not have CD-ROM drives only floppy drives.
     
    I used rewrite to copy the bootnet.img file to a floppy at the DOS
    prompt under Windows 2000. When I try to boot from the floppy I am
    getting a "Boot failed:please change disk and press any key to continue"
     
    The point of this entire exercise is to be able to insert my floppy into
    these macbines, get some interface where I point to the boot image on
    the NFS server and get these machines installed.
     
    Can someone help?
     
    Thanks,
    Tee
